The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says one of its deputies was killed by her husband — himself a firefighter with the county's fire department.
The firefighter fled the home where he shot his wife, and later shot and killed himself at a fire station about 15 miles away.
The shooting happened Sunday night in the Los Angeles suburb of La Canada (kahn-YAH-duh) Flintridge.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a call of a woman screaming. Inside the home, they found she had been shot and killed.
The sheriff's department said the woman was 32 years old and had been on the force for two years, while her husband had worked with the Los Angeles County Fire Department for five years.
Homicide detectives are still investigating and no names have been released.
